Message Text

Do you want the element to have an ABAP Dictionary reference

Help Document

Diagnosis

The name that you entered is that of a type defined in the ABAP Dictionary (for example, that of a table field).

System Response

The system allows you to define the element with reference to the ABAP Dictionary type. Alternatively, you can still define it as an ordinary program field. If you create the link to the ABAP Dictionary, the attributes defined in the Dictionary definition (format, length, plus any text and search helps), are adopted by the screen element and used at runtime. If you do not use an ABAP Dictionary reference, you must define all of these attributes yourself.

Procedure

Choose "Yes" if you want to use an ABAP Dictionary reference, or "No" to create a normal program field. If you choose "Cancel", the name of the element remains unchanged.
